Remember you can have settling snow on wet ground.. 

I've seen the switch take place within 5 minutes it's quite a sight and only seen it a handful of times... 

All noted but those MO precipitation charts only really show one very heavy 6 hour period the rest is quite light - temps will only be just around 0c not below like March will be very drippy if precipitation rate is not intense. Also location of 528 DAM line should temper expectations a bit it’s behind the front that is bringing the precipitation at midday Tuesday ..

UKMO is very snowy indeed BUT it is worth remembering it is very much at the extreme end of the suite of 12z models at the moment. not to say it can't happen, but most runs are still keeping this as a frontal system crossing the UK, rather than the jackpot that the UKMO has.

What a jackpot that would be.

I've tracked the 6hr mean and it is NOT a new low, but the same low pressure system, very close to a technical channel low, but not quite!

Possible adjustment of Met Office warning then. Amber maybe for parts of Kent, Sussex, Essex. Then yellow still for similar area to before is my thinking.

I'm just going by the latest UKMO PPN charts 

They are just precipitation charts though - uppers / thicknesses / surface temps all still look marginal at given time frames ... could be a boom or a bust still ..

All models show the actual low moving in to France. Some less deep further south those deeper further north.

I know, but it would be nice if it did stay further north, never know could get lucky.:oldrolleyes:

Agreed it will certainly have adjustments made before Tuesday.

Sure it may well be further North, no question. But it looks like consensus currently takes it in to France not up channel.

Excess of 20+cms perhaps even a red warning especially as this is around London. Who knows ? Guess we'll see soon

I think that the worse that can happen now is that they downgrade the intensity of PPN, thats my only worry. So instead of 3-10cm+ we end up with 1-3cm, still better than nothing of course.

UKMO raw continues to show the northward spread across this region of some slightly more intense precipitation, and a general slow down of the system as it moves across us

Now your showing your a newbie to this model watching lark... never believe they cannot backtrack until T12 or even T6. Nothing is a given, yes its looking good and hopefully will come off. But do not for one minute think this is a done deal.

What’s the feeling on marginality for those of us near the coast?

As an East Sussexer it all looks quite exciting but worried it could be rain and sleet here.

I would say the UKMO is within the range of what is possible, and nothing more than that at the moment.

Most models are still going for just a fairly sharp frontal event, maybe 2-3hrs of mod-heavy snow then clears to the east. For now, that is also the horse I'd back, but with the caveat that the UKMO has been pretty stubborn with this set-up now for a few runs, and so its certainly possible...

But not probable...at the moment...

Agree , actually seen snow stay intact in puddles before once the temperature fell below 0 . Conditions can change for settling snow very quickly having seen this myself on a handful of occasions .

Me too. I'm in eastbourne. It was said on here earlier that we would struggle. Don't know if that's changed or not.

METO have heavy snow for all areas including the far South coast

I did have a look earlier. It showed heavy snow at 6am weds but by 9am it showed sunny. I'm hopeful.
